Yours
We pray that as our Lord explores
Our dreadful sins, your mercy pours
And covers us for we are yours.

Jehovah’s Judgments | 3. Worldliness
Judah’s elite were imitating the idolatrous cultures of the neighboring ungodly kingdoms. Why should God’s people use God’s blessings to imitate the lifestyles of those who hate God?

Now at the cross
was greater loss
with torture and with pain.
From crown of thorn

Jehovah’s Judgments | 2. Pride
If I can live without God some of the time, then I can live without Him all of the time: Therefore, I don’t need Him. That is the definition of pride. If I don’t need God, then I am my own God.
Cradle, Cross & Crown
He taught us truth, forgiveness, grace
He taught how gain was loss
Then demonstrated selfless love
By dying on the cross
Jehovah’s Judgments | 1. Idolatry
Idolatry has no place in the Body of Christ. We cannot lead anyone to Christ if we do not believe in His exclusive lordship over our lives. We cannot lead anyone to faith in Christ if our faith is compromised by idolatry. We cannot be priests of God and serve another “god”.

Is God Your Hiding Place and Your Shield?
We can’t legitimately call on God to hide and shield us if we won’t listen to Him or obey Him.
Believers in Business: Three Tenets for Transactions
Business deals are not inherently wrong. But it is equally obvious that the worldly business practices of worldly men are worldly instead of godly. Thus, the goals of Believers are often diametrically opposed to those with whom they must do business.
How then can a Believer navigate the world of business in a way that honors God?
